(NB)-MultiChoice Limited, owners of DStv and GoTV, is set to reduce the
monthly DStv subscription fees between 11 percent and 21 per cent from
November 1, 2016 in several African countries, excluding Nigeria.

DStv would also add several exciting channels to the lower-tiered
bouquets in the black nations to boost the content offering for cheaper
packages and add content value.

The countries that would benefit from the offer are Kenya, Tanzania,
Ghana, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Botswana, neglecting Nigeria, its biggest
market, according to a report.

There are chances that the company may soon increase the subscription fee in Nigeria.A top source close to the management of Multichoice Nigeria, who claimed
anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, said that the company
decided to slashed fees in the countries after it observed that about 40
per cent of its subscribers had refused to renew their subscriptions
due to economic recession that bites harder their compared to Nigeria,
which has been recently rated the biggest economy in the continent.

“To compensate our Nigerian viewers, we will introduce more amazing
channels to the existing entertaining programmes” she revealed.

But in a quick response, a business lawyer, Bar. Seun Adewole, stated
that while most Nigerians suffered in silence, foreign companies like
Multichoice ripped them off their hard earned money.
